The Texas Longhorns held their 2015 pro day this week and while most eyes were likely on defensive tackle Malcolm Brown, there were other potential pro players for teams to get a close look at.

The start of the NFL&#039;s free agency period was probably not ideal for fans of the Dallas Cowboys.

Entering this offseason without a first round pick, I expected the Buffalo Bills to add a quarterback in the mold of Ryan Fitzpatrick, who could keep the team above water as a starter and push the young E.J. Manuel in his third season.
